"The 'Economic Consequences of Peace' combines many characteristics. It is primarily a treatise on international economic relations that strives, in a difficult political period, to articulate principles of economic cooperation and trade exchanges through mutual concessions and recognition of the interests of the Other. It is also a high-level economic-technical study that placed elementary statistical analysis at the center of economic entrepreneurship. Finally, it is a literary sketch of the political leaders of the major powers of the era of high aesthetics and penetrating critical analysis of their personalities, which made an impression on its own, and independently of anything else."
